Al 'Resist We Much' Sharpton Calls Protests 'Occupation Wall Street' Four Times in One Show
It really is amazing this man has his own one hour, nationally televised show on a so-called news network.
On Monday's PoliticsNation, MSNBC's Al Sharpton, four times in the course of roughly twenty minutes, actually called the liberal movement that he and most of his media colleagues adore "Occupation Wall Street" (video follows with commentary):
In the opening segment, despite the protests actually being the subject at hand, Sharpton called the movement "Occupation Wall Street" three times in roughly three minutes.
Even more absurd, in a subsequent segment with a completely different guest fifteen minutes later - and after a commercial break where you would think someone on his staff would remind him of the real name of the protests! - he did it again.
Most hysterically, this came seconds after his guest correctly referred to the movement, and with a chyron on the screen clearly stating "Occupy Wall Street."
We are of course reminded of his pathetic performance in August when he was subbing for the supposedly vacationing Cenk Uygur mumbling incoherently the words that will likely be his legacy as long as he remains on the air.
Maybe it should become this movement's logo - "Occupation Wall Street: Resist We Much!"

Sharpton's TV show is an example of appeasement

As NewsBusters and other sites have pointed out, the execrable Sharpton only has a talk show because he has a massive mob of agitators, lawyers and potential rioters who will make a business's existence a living Hell if they don't appease him. As FreeRepublic put it:
So Comcast secured Sharpton's permission to complete the merger, and in return, Sharpton got ...? Let's just say, Sharpton can be as idiotic, incomprehensible, and brain-damaged as he wants to be on his show, and most likely he won't be deposed.
Great example

As an Affirmative Action Anchor, Al has set the goal of racial equity back about fifty years.
His position is an insult to any person that can read, since we've been told that education is so critcal to success. Or was that 'edumacation'?
Not "Amazing" At All

The Rev. Resist We Much was paid off so as to not oppose the Comcast acquisition of it's 51% stake in NBC. 'Nuf said.

You never really know what’s behind this network plunge. And I think all the posters here are most likely right. But, consider this. The Civil Rights Act was passed and we eventually got Affirmative Action for skin color “bias.” Then the networks created Roseanne and you have to assume the show came about to try and rid the country of bias toward fat people. And now, there’s Sharpton. Oh, this is too easy, perhaps this is the networks attempt to demonstrate inclusion for the buffoon.

But that mousetrap has to meet EPA, OSHA, and 5 dozen other federal governmental standards and guidelines (many of which contradict others) before it can be made "better."
That's the real reason why no better mousetraps have been built in this country. So it has to be outsourced to India, China, etc.

Ah, MLK Jr. would be proud wouldn't he? The man stated he dreamed of a USA where men are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. This cat, Sharpton, well anyone dare suggest what the content of that character is?
I went to a small college in Chicago. Had a political science elective taught by former Mayor Harold Washington's Chief of Staff, and he explained the phenomenon of Jesse Jackson (it applies to Rev. Al just as well). He explained that there were 2 things going on: 1) JJ is in the racism business ... without racism, he's out of a job. Therefore, JJ is going to "see" a racist (towards blacks) everywhere he turns. 2) Reporters are, generally, lazy {and honestly, also rushed}. Therefore, when they run a story that they believe needs the perspective of the "black community," they need someone available, respected {meaning, well-known}, and likely to have a good soundbite. JJ was certainly well-known at the time (early '90's), went out of his way to make himself available, and always had great soundbites.
Quick true story: when I

Quick true story: when I worked for a local TV station our news director was better than most so when JJ came to town for something the news director told the reporter to not get any soundbites from Jackson no matter what. He wasn't going to allow his news department to be used by Jackson. After the reporter returned she told me that she kept getting followed and pestered by Jackson reps trying to get her to interview JJ.
And that gaff aired across all 57 states and 1000 countries!

Remember when these same people used to ridicule Bush-43 for mispronouncing the word 'nuclear?'
The MSM is a circus of nothing but clown acts.
